Another little baby on a cake, this time with spring blossoms and shiny bubbles and surrounded by sugar lace pieces.  All edible. 

We also made matching mini cupcakes, how cute is that?

Other Cakes We've Made

Hello Kitty cake with pretty frills, bows, buds and hand painted design.















Black lace, so suitable for around Halloween time, both elegant and seasonal.















To celebrate Eid (Muslim religious holiday) this cake with antique finish and lots of gold was ordered.

For a Disney fan, this Playhouse themed cake.  The client provided ready made Disney figurines to put on to the cake.  For copyright reasons we are not allowed to use Disney images or make figurines.

Sleepy Baby

This little cake was for a baby shower....of course....what better way to welcome a new baby into a family than to have it sleeping on top of a cake!

Baby Cakes

I just love making cute little baby cakes for my clients.  This client asked for the old fashioned lace effect around the sides of the cake making it so delicate and fine that you'd hardly want to cut into it.  All the decorations are completely edible even the lace.

Red Roses, Pearls and Lace

For Lora a layered vanilla and red velvet cake with vanilla raspberry buttercream filling.  Lace pieces were added and finished with red roses (a request from her husband in recognition of the Kentucky Derby).

Birthday Cake - Gowlings

A birthday cake for Sheila's birthday.  "Make it pretty, very, very pretty" we were told, "with flowers and bows".  We added little apricot coloured bows sitting atop a bed of lace which was all lightly dusted with satin dust.

Ivory Rose

A small Valentine's cake for two with hand made ivory roses and leaves with an edible cherub cameo finished with fine cotton lace.

Navy Blue Cake

Who said navy blue was too modern and looks nautical?  Ah yes, that was me, until I fixed myself the challenge of creating a cake that was neither modern looking or remotely nautical but was very definitely navy blue!

With pearls, lace and a cherub cameo, this cake is anything but what you'd think a cake with so much navy blue on it would look like.  We used a rich sapphire blue with a pearlized sheen and hand painted the whole cake.  We finished with a navy blue satin ribbon and displayed it on a fine, bright white hand made Lou Hanson cake stand.

Miniature Birthday Cake

A question often asked of a cake decorator is "Who makes your birthday cake?"  Well, this might help answer this question....we make them for each other!

My sister in law, Louise, also my assistant at Let Them Eat Cakes usually makes my birthday cake.

This little tiny, square cake with sugar flowers and lace pieces was made by me for my good friend June Lynch from Picture Perfect Cakes also in Dundas.

Four cake decorators June, Gordana (M&N Cakes Hamilton also cake decorating teacher from Mohawk College), Pauline Brousseau (From Me To You, Hamilton, cookies and cakes), Louise Howling (Let Them Eat Cakes, Dundas, Cake Designer) and myself went out for dinner.  Since none of us eat cake, this was plenty big enough!

Miniature cakes are time consuming to make, require almost as much work as a much larger cake and sometimes the mini cake boards and boxes are more than their larger versions, but they're so cute!

Fleur de Lys - Hamilton Golf and Country Club

This cake with a distinct French flair was for a bride who lived in France.  Actually, after talking to her about it, she lived in the next street to me when I also lived in France, small world indeed!  

The bride had supplied me with a fleur de lys cookie cutter to make the cake topper, but after trying it out a couple of times we realised that it was neither big enough or bold enough to carry off the finishing touches to this elegant design.

I made the topper from chocolate and hand sculpted it into it's form and made a chocolate plinth for it to sit on around which the roses were placed.  The lace work on the top tier was brushed with a cream pearl finish which had a gold fleck.  The draping on the middle tier was also brushed with the same finish.  The gold fleur de lys were painted with 24k gold dust to match the fleur de lys on the top.

The roses were made of white chocolate and brushed with pearl dust also to finish the opulent look of this cake.

White Lace

This cake was decorated with lace pieces and stringwork for a very elegant look.  The pillar in the middle gave the cake considerable extra height.
